ALBANY — A Lower East Side bar with a recent history of stabbings, assaults, and sales to intoxicated patrons had its liquor license suspended by the state on Wednesday.

The state Liquor Authority announced it summarily suspended the license of Rivington F&B LLC, which was doing business as "Delilah" at 155 Rivington Street.

"It's clear that this licensee has put the profits of his business over the safety of his patrons, and that the continued operation of this establishment presents a severe threat to welfare of the community," said Liquor Authority Counsel Christopher Riano.

A representative for Delilah said the establishment is reviewing its legal options.

One of the establishment's owners is Paul Seres, a former president of the New York Nightlife Association and a founding trustee of the New York City Hospitality Alliance.

The politically connected Seres also reportedly applied for the position of "night mayor" when Mayor de Blasio last year created the city Office of Nightlife. He did not get the position.

De Blasio spokesman Ben Sarle wouldn't confirm if Seres had been under consideration.

"People who apply for jobs with NYC government is not public information," Sarle said in an email.

The Delilah rep said Seres' lawyers "want it to be clear that Paul is only a minor investor and does not manage the premises."

In suspending Delilah's liquor license, the state Liquor Authority cited several incidents that occurred around New Year's.

According to the SLA's findings, three patrons were stabbed outside the bar on Dec. 30th in an incident that was preceded by an argument inside the establishment between two groups of customers. One of the victims needed 250 stitches after being slashed on the throat.

The SLA said the bar's security failed to break up the fight or keep the groups separated. The bar's staff failed to call 911 to report the altercation or seek medical help for the victims, including one customer involved in the altercation who was run over by a car, the authority said.

A day later, on New Year's Eve, a Delilah bouncer assaulted a patron, telling the NYPD it was done in self-defense. Police found the bouncer had not completed an annual security training since 2006. They also found a number of drunken customers, including several whom were unable to walk or stand, inside the bar, the report said.

And on Jan. 1, police responding to a call to the bar found multiple unconscious patrons lying in front of the door. Delilah was illegally hosting an open bar and was over the maximum occupancy limit for the building.

The SLA then conducted a inspection of the bar with NYPD on Jan. 3 — and the manager was unable to produce employment files, security guard records, security contracts, or receipts for beer and liquor purchases.

On Tuesday, the agency slapped the bar with 18 violations, including for disorderly premises, sale to an intoxicated person, failure to supervise and for becoming a focal point for police attention.

The authority yanked Delilah's liquor license with a finding that public health, safety or welfare required the emergency action.

"Not only did the licensee and his staff put patrons in serious physical danger by failing to call 911 during numerous emergency situations, but management and staff also refused to seek medical treatment for unconscious victims that were over-served at his establishment," Riano said.

Delilah officials have no comment on the alleged incidents "while they review their legal options," the establishment representative said.

It's also not clear whether the establishment, which serves Mediterranean food, will remain open without a liquor license.

"It's too soon to tell as this is the first they're seeing this and the venue has not been served with any paperwork," the rep said.
